Analyze large and multivariable collections for archival processing. Lots of different file formats.

Trying to extract as much information as possible from the records hemselves to help create finding aids.

Virtualization of archival collections: a visual representation of archival collections. Colors and size used to represent size and formats in different parts of collections. A non-textual way to see collections.

Visualization of files types can also help with processing of large collections of electronic records. Can show arrangement as well as preservation risk.

The demonstrations were pretty cool, and I can’t wait to get my hands on these various pieces of software and play around. My one critique is that the presenters made it a little difficult to find out where we could get more information about their prijects. Hopefully with some google-fu, I can figure out more.
